JOLY'S "LEGEND IN JAPANESE ART" ON LINE

[Bazza]

I have stumbled upon an online, electronically searchable copy of Joly's book. It is here:

 

http://www.archive.org/stream/legendinj ... t_djvu.txt

 

At the top on the left-hand side of the screen is a tag "See other formats" and there is a downloadable pdf there of the original scan (~50 megabytes). The book scanned is published by John Lane Company and printed by the "Tokio Printing Company, Reading". A handwritten notation suggests it is a 1908 printing.

 

I have read that Joly's book "has many errors" (along with many books!) but have never seen any listed. Has anyone else???

 

Regards,

Barry Thomas.

Hi Bazza

 

Thanks for that, kind of a nice find even if there are some errors scattered about- as in everything in this vale of tears we re passing through.

Bazza,

You have to read the forum better :lol:

Brian - OOOPS - the Forum approaches encyclopedic in its scope, as do you. I, however, am Light Years behind. I'll try to be better illuminated and ejumicated in future... On the upside, my post has brought forth your post that has shone a light into what may be a dark corner for many other Forumites.

 

Regards,

BaZZa.

Barry, attached you'll find a short article I wrote for the International Netsuke Society a few years ago:
